Honey Pot
Barreled Souls Brewing Company

Poured at fridge temp. Pours an opaque brown/orange with almost no head. The nose is honey, caramel, malts, and a bit of maple.

The taste is really nice. Similar to the nose. Grass, honey, caramel candy, bread, raspberry jam, Granny Smith apples, and plums. Lovely taste - super smooth and nicely integrated.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a sweet apple and caramel aftertaste.

Pours a rusty reddish brown color, moderately hazy. No head in particular but a ring of microbubbles where beer meets glass. Not the Belle of the ball by any means, but it clears to a nice deep copper color when it warms.

Delightful smell - yes. It leads with a honey sweetness then there is a wheat whole grain bread smell. Caramel comes to play and a dark fruit that I'll say is fig for now. Aromatics - oh my how nice. Fresh apple, a bit of grape, and wildflowers. This is outstanding - a late summer or early fall orchard where you can smell honey from the hives and caramel on the apples.

The taste opens fairly sweet, the honey component is obvious but not overdone. The honey sits on some great wheaty whole grain bready biscuits. There's a nice tang that I'll guess is from the wheat and it keeps the sweet in bounds. The aromatics float over everything - apple leaning a bit to the cider side, fig leaning into dates, a slight caramel/toffee sweetness. Then the wildflower meadow shows up - it is a very enjoyable inhale after the swallow.
Decadent, elegant. The sweetness checks up just sort of too sweet and the "lighter" flavors are strong enough to balance the overall flavor.

Feel is slightly sticky, soft, lucious, slightly dry, nicely warming, non-intrusive carbonation.

Yeah...I'm diggin this a whole lot. A fantastic, luxurious treat with massive depth of flavor.

 

Pours amber-brown with two fat fingers of lasting tan head. When the head eventually settles it leaves nice rings of lacing.

Fig, crème brûlée, distant banana-flavored Laffy Taffy and alcohol-soaked sponge cake in the nose.

Brown bread, fig, distant banana, plum, vanilla, custard, cherry cough syrup and honey grahams sin the taste. A little pilly bitterness in the finish, in the absolute best way.

Exceptionally soft mouthfeel with very tight, fluffy carbonation.

Really well made. The fruit flavors are delicious but never come off too sweet, and the mouthfeel is amazing. Great beer.

 

 

L: dirty amber color, minimal head and lacing. Not too pretty

S: fresh wheat/sprouted grain bread in a bath of apple juice and wildflowers. Wonderful aroma

T: largely follows suit with a powerful honey sweetness: really comes off as mead-adjacent. Crisp apple, orchard rot, and grape must character keeps it from becoming overly saccharine. Dries out with lightly tart apple

F: full with low carb

 

 

 

32 oz growled was poured into a snifter.

Appearance: A one finger head was poured that reduced to a thin layer. It is an amber copper color with great clarity and vision of bubbles coming up through the glass.

Smell: Vanilla, apple, pear, toasted, doughy, biscuity, caramel, and warm alcohol.

Taste: Getting all the aromas on the palate as it rolls through my mouth. Honey adds another depth of flavor profiles and characteristics. Boozy and gets more complex flavors as it warms up.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, light to medium bodied, a little dry, medium carbonation, and nice warm alcohol.

Overall: A nice sipper of a wheatwine. I'd like to try out the barreled variants of this beer sometime too.

 

 

 

 

Draught @ Brewery: This one poured a dark coppery color. There was minimal head and lacing. Nice nose. Wheat, honey, caramel, dark fruits. The taste is very good. Somewhat sweet and a touch syrupy. Wheat, caramel, honey, fruits. Very nice!
